I know it's called Shannon's now, but I haven't seen any pubications with it. Thanks REPLY: It is still called Rose Hill Memorial Park. It is also referred to as Shannon's Rose Hill as it is owned by Shannon's Funeral Home. The only thing that has been in print is what the DAR copied in the mid-1950's. They only listed stones where the date of birth was before something like 1875 or so. I have personally copied about a third of the stones in Rose Hill. I have done the older sections and have finished over 7600 graves to date. I can check my records or you can contact the cemetery office directly. -Rob

That is in the oldest part of the cemetery. The grave location and the missing first name leads me to believe that this may have been an infant. I wish I had more for you. -Rob
